[QUOTE="Gatorgrizz27, post: 1024847, member: 64071"] I'd pick up a Weatherby Vanguard in .257 Weatherby if ammo cost/availability isn't an issue (reloader). I've been itching to add one to my .223 and .30-06 Vanguards. It is the flattest shooting caliber to 400 yards, recoils like a .270, and a great size bullet for whitetail/axis/aoudad and hogs. The only thing in TX that would require more is a Nilgai. A .25-06 would fit the bill as well. A strong case could also be made for the .270 or .308 as it is enough of a step down from your .300 RUM to justify having for different uses, but is also large enough to serve as a "back up" gun on elk, moose, etc should you decide to travel to hunt them. .280 AI would be a sweet choice as well on a custom build, there is no easy solution!
